Energy Transition Readiness Assessment for Developing Asia and the Pacific

Inspired by the World Economic Forum's long-running Energy Transition Index (ETI), the energy transition readiness assessment (ETRA) borrows from the ETI's framework, methodology, and indicator selection while building around the unique conditions and needs of developing Asia and the Pacific. The ETRA evaluates developing Asian countries' readiness for the energy transition, where "transition readiness" is defined as a country's capacity and preparedness to create an equitable, sustainable, and secure energy system that builds value for society and delivers on net-zero ambitions. The assessment benchmarks countries across critical, independent, and interconnected factors that drive energy transition, offering a multidimensional analysis that accounts for the unique circumstances, capacities, and needs of each country.
